Just watched the Brosnan gunbarrels, and yes, I think I might prefer TND to GE; takes everything good from GE and makes it more classic with the music.
Doubtful.
Same gunbarrel design was used in this article from a month ago.

Binder's classic is what I want as well. Whenever I see the QoS or SF I think of that SIMPSONS parody that spoofed the gunbarrel.
The SP look was fine by me. I'd just slow down the blood flow a titch and let the image sway left to right................sink, return and enlarge.
I must also add I loved the shade of blood red for SP's gunbarrel.
Closest to Binder's hue since Binder himself did the honors. That red tint was spot on.
Having seen all the Bond films except TMWTGG on the big screen 35mm, I can attest the blood is what stands out and pops when that image is up on the screen. None of the Blu-rays quite get the red correct, though some are close. Various television calibrations are also to consider. However seeing the Bonds on 35mm, the gunbarrel image really looked amazing.
I saw the worst possible print of THUNDERBALL once, and the gunbarrel blood still looked sharp.
I’ll do you one further: bring back Brosnan for the gun barrel ;)
Sold!
What if he comes in from the left this time? That would be out of left field.
Heh! Well after that guy taking 25 shots at him you'd think he'd need to think of something different to stop himself getting shot this time! :)
Would be the first time since TWINE that we've had a fully traditional gunbarrel.
+1 Absolutely. I just want Craig to nail a gunbarrel and then for it to go straight into the scene not a cut to black or anything else. That will hook me immediately
Amazing to think it will have been 21 years! We need #justiceforgunbarrel.
I'd actually go as far to say that TLD was the last time we had a fully traditional gunbarrel.
Afterwards the Bond theme has either been completely re-arranged, or shortened in some form. Also post Binder, the sequence plays slightly faster.
But even with TLD we didn't get the riff played on a guitar: so I'd say the last fully trad one... maybe Live and Let Die? :)
Looking at this one again though: he definitely misses! :D
Spectre returned it to where it belongs, I have no reason to believe it will be moved again. Also, as stated before, we've had Bond-less PTS' before, so if the young Maddie part is indeed the PTS I don't see why that would be an issue.
As for the gunbarrel itself, I'd like to see them reuse the Spectre one, without the pretentious mantra inbetween the GB and the PTS.
Just my two cents.
Yeah, when i heard that my anticipation for the film just went up a notch.
The guy understands how important it is! You listening Mendes???!!!
Haha! He did put it back for SP, but there was no excuse for leaving it off SF, really hate that opening with the loud music cue!
No, with Spectre Mendes said, "Fine, *spit* have your precious gunbarrel back where it belongs, but it will have a pretentious little saying after it."
